Another Delay?

[KidDynamite]

You heard it right, as I'm sure you have all read already, another delay for the game we would all love to get our hands on. The new delay date set is for April 2004. A sad day indeed, but does not surprise me at all.

and i'm sure its on CNN somewhere also.

Sorry forgot to state its not SOLID yet, but no doubt i'm sure there will be a delay. Just a PERSONAL opinion

apparently it not offical and they hope for sooner.....i hope for sooner 2 ;o~

Update: Half-Life Source (ironically titled, under the circumstances) has their report based on visiting Valve saying that "only a SMALL PORTION" of the source has been stolen, and an email they attribute to "Mike Thompson who says he works for Vivendi Universal" saying "delay is not confirmed..." Did I mention this might not be the last word on this subject?

two words...

HA HA!

/me pets urban...ya no im starting to think it really was u ¬_¬

[Guest John Kerry]

lol, i just think its funny that the same people that were bitching to valve making petitions online are now the same people that are backing valve cause there little game got stolen...

the best part of all this... valve learned a good leason in internet security... if you have such a highly anticipated video game coming out and everyone and their mother wants to play it... make sure your security is better then that of wall*mart (and if you know.. wallmart has like NO security)

now, what these little hackers did.. was (funny) wrong.. and i hope valve gets em... but i sure am getting a good laugh out of all this

Amen Father :roll:

i never sign petitions personally, i feel that there usually is never an end product to the petition and no one ever listens to them anyway.that and they aren't worth me hitting 10 keys on my keyboard.

I agree with your statement though Urby.

I know I love it.. Maybe [myg0t] will have the cheats ready for game release now that they've probly got the source for it..

/me wishes he knew how to code.. He'd make a pong game from HL2 source.. (Might as well make a good game with it)

lol j/k

[Guest John Kerry]

haha hacks will be out before the game will be... haha thats great.. enjoy cheater-strike 2

[KidDynamite]

ya i can't wait to see what happens, supposedly it was only 1/3 the source, but whatever. still doesn't mean shit isn't gonna go down lol.

[CrazyMAC]

well if valve really is re coding stuff lets hope (or in urbans case just flip this around) that it will render all or alot of wat they have go there hands onto useless.

kind of lame if u think about it that some one did that :\

[JynxDaddy]

Oh well D:

They will just rename a ton of the code classes, functions, etc.

Then those using the old source to build hacks can easily be caught and banned from hl2/steam, and they will be caught because hl2 works over steam which requires authentication and a bunch of registration info. They can always hack single player, but it doesn't really matter then.

[KidDynamite]

olololo hack single player, thats the best
